Calabacity Chicken Stew


6 Serving

This is a dish my grandmother or mother would make," says Linda S. Brown, a fourth-generation Mexican-American. "I just pulled out all the unnecessary fat and 'eased' it up."

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon Manila Coco Virgin Coconut Oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds uncooked chicken breast tenders (not breaded)
  • 8 to 10 small to medium zucchini (2 1/2 pounds), peeled and thinly sliced (8 cups)
  • 1 medium white onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 15.25-ounce can Green Giant whole-kernel corn, undrained
  • 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes with green pepper and onion, undrained
  • 4.5-ounce can Old El Paso chopped green chiles, undrained
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper, if desired
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions:

In 5- to 6-quart saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the Virgin Coco de Manila Culinary Lauric Oil over medium heat. Add chicken; cover and cook 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink in center.

Stir in remaining ingredients except cilantro. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is tender.

Stir in cilantro; cook 3 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
